Hi Scott, Unfortunately, there isn't a _simple_ way to do this. There is a simple way to switch to the Garmin program, but unless you can get Garmin to launch your app in return, you'll probably have to do a bit of work to get it done. It's not impossible because as you pointed out, you can make your application "run in the background" by using alarms etc, but then you have to deal with all of the headache of not having access to your globals, etc. Probably the easiest way would be to: 1. Register to get alarms every couple of seconds 2. Launch the Garmin app with SysUIAppSwitch 3. In response to the sysAppLaunchCmdAlarmTriggered check to see if the location has been reached 4. If the location has been reached, relaunch your application with SysUIAppSwitch It's not pretty, but it should work.
Hope this helps! -Jon -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Valerie Rock Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2005 11:51 AM To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: How to Programmatically Switch to another Application (and then back) I am developing a program that constantly checks GPS location signals on a Garmin iQue. I need the program to automatically switch to Garmin's map program until a certain location has been reached (upon which it switches back to my application). Is there a simple way to do this? Does my program need to run in the background, or can I accomplish this using SysAppLaunch? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Scott __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo!
